  on a miss.

\rightbanner{Starting Moves}

\begin{basicmove}{Network}
  You have a group of informants and scouts who can trade information
  with you, describe who or what they are! Every steading will have at
  least one contact from your network for you to meet. When you
  \condition{spend some time trading information with one of your
    contacts}, hold 2 plus your CHA. When you consult your contact’s
  intel, spend a hold to ask the GM one of the following:

  \begin{itemize}
  \item What’s the greatest danger here?
  \item Where is \blank hidden?
  \item Where could I best hide or blend in around here?
  \item Who can help me out around here?
  \item Is there a trap or ambush here, and if so, where?
  \item Where’s my best way in, out, or through this place?
  \item Who does \blank serve?
  \item What does \blank most desire?
  \item How can I best serve my society or employer around here?
  \end{itemize}

  After meeting your contact, you must come up with some new
  information to pass on before you can meet then again and gain more
  hold from this move.
\end{basicmove}

\

\begin{basicmove}{Sleight of Hand}
  When you pick locks or pockets, disarm a trap, or escape restraints,
  roll +DEX. \onSuccess, you succeed unnoticed, no
  problem. \onPartial, you are still successful, but the GM will offer
  you two options between suspicion, danger, or cost.
\end{basicmove}

\

\begin{basicmove}{Cloak and Dagger}
  You are trained to fight dirty. When you \condition{attack a
    surprised or defenseless enemy with a melee weapon}, either deal
  your damage or roll +DEX. \onSuccess, choose two. \onPartial, choose
  one:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item You deal your damage, ignoring armor
  \item One of their limbs or senses of your choice is crippled for a few moments
  \item You disengage from combat before they can retaliate against you
  \item No-one notices you make your attack, and your target doesn't make a sound
  \end{itemize}
